Henley, to various figures of the period, e.g. R.L. Stevenson, H. G. Wells, J.M. Barrie, William Archer, Rodin, Wilde, Kipling, Arthur Morrison, Alice Meynell, and Edmund Gosse. Letters are also included to other figures within Henley's immediate circle, his wife Anna, his financial backer Fitzroy Bell, Charles Baxter the arbitrator in the quarrel between Henley and Stevenson, and his Edinburgh art collector friend Hamilton Bruce. Each letter is fully annotated. An introduction places Henley within the period and provides a biographical account of his life and literary work which is reflected in his letters. Of particular importance is the role of Henley as editor of London, the Magazine of Art, the Scots Observer and later the National Observer and the New Review. 410 0$aNineteenth century (Aldershot, England) 606 $aAuthors, English$y19th century$vCorrespondence 606 $aLexicographers$zGreat Britain$vCorrespondence 606 $aEditors$zGreat Britain$vCorrespondence 606 $aCritics$zGreat Britain$vCorrespondence 615 0$aAuthors, English 615 0$aLexicographers 615 0$aEditors 615 0$aCritics 676 $a828/.809 700 $aHenley$b William Ernest$f1849-1903.,$0972311 701 $aAtkinson$b Damian$0972312 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154998703321 996 $aThe selected letters of W.E.
